Samoa

By Joseph E. Steed

APIA.— The work of carrying the last message was begun here in the year 1895, but for various reasons this island has been without a worker for some time. A little more than a year ago the Australasian Union Conference Council requested the writer and some members of his family to make this their field of labor. Since coming here we have had much to do, and much to learn. We could not hope to do much toward getting out literature in the native language, but He who called us came to our help, and raised up a young man who was interested in the truth, and by his help we have four tracts and one two-page leaflet almost ready to work with; and this young man has also become firmly established in the truth, and has identified himself with God's people. Besides a population of nearly forty thousand natives, there are about one thousand Chinese and some three hundred whites, for whom we are working. We would be glad indeed if any of our American brethren could send us reading-matter in English or German, bearing on God's message for to-day, post-paid, to Apia, Samoa. JOSEPH E. STEED.
